Cover art for Pollution lyrics by Tom Lehrer

Tom Lehrer was a genious. You have to give him credit for that. One of the best musical satirists around.

And yeah, pollution was a problem, although I think it is actually mildly better now than it was then, though, yes, the hoods line is still prevalent.

What's amazing is that TL's songs date tremendously well for satire.
